THE BEST OF BALLET

The immortal songs of the legendary Beatles in Baroque arrangements under the baton of the world-renowned conductor, composer, arranger and keyboardist Peter Breiner. Experience the original evening and enjoy the performance of the SND Opera Orchestra. The cult hits of the English rock band come to life on the stage of the historic building of the National Theater, transformed into a performance by young as well as well-known choreographers (some of them work directly for Ballet SND).

The immortal story about a beautiful and temperamental Roma girl whose beauty rivals that of Paris is an opportunity for every ballet house to present their brilliant dance techniques. The technological processes in the production of the scene largely duplicate the historical technological processes and thus bring an even stronger sense of authenticity. The performance is going to be a spectacular visual experience thanks to the costumes from workshops of renowned Russian artists from the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow Alyon Pikal and Yelena Zajcevy.

We present the ballet in collaboration with Petipa Heritage Fund St. Petersburg.

Performance dates: October 26, 2018 and November 15, 2018 at 7 PM, the Opera and Ballet Hall

A thrilling choreography augmented by three musical giants – Wagner, Musorg, and Rachmanin, suggestive design and top-notch performance – a promise of a great evening. The choreography based on Boris Eifman’s choreographic genius was the first piece of his work staged in Slovakia. The production Beyond Sin / The Brothers Karamazov won the award Dosky 2018 for the best dance performance. The award was received by the dancer Adrian Szelle.

Performance dates: October 31, 2018 at 7 PM, the Opera and Ballet Hall

There is a chance to improve his financial situation by making a good marriage proposal, as recommended by a wealthy friend, Zaremba, who offers him his own daughter, Helen. Since solving property problems this way was never easy, you can look forward to unusual complications, unexpected twists and funny situations!

Immerse into the world of a woman who “deals love” – but when she really does fall in love, she goes through an unbelievable transformation.
